Shim update.... well I did double check shim sizes and clearances, due to the tone of how others thought the sizes were off.... well you guys were right... they were off!!! I didn't have (4) 256 shims.. I had (2) 235 and (2) 265... well after measuring them I found the marked values to be off 1... so the photo below outlines the measurements and valve clearances measured with the correct shims installed and the cams rotated (started with timming aligned and ended with the timming aligned)
So it does pay off posting things even if you think they are correct and also it shows that I am not perfect!! Yes I said it NOT PERFECT!!! This puppy should be up and running tomorrow night!!! Don't worry I will let you all know!!

I like this motivational pushing GET ER DONE ALREADY, YOO CAN DOO IT
and last but not least , Build it and she will come
out in the garage and tell you to shut the **** thing off cause its 4 in the morning and your an idiot for running it so late (early) and go ahead and sleep on the couch and leave her alone and just because your all " happy " doesnt mean she has to make the rest of your night.
Think that about covers it.
